Abstract: This research is a reception study of television news in the classroom from the perspective of the theory of mediations, supported by Jesus Martin Barbero and Guillermo Orozco Gomez. According to Paulo Freire theories, education is understood in this search as a practice of freedom, creator of meanings and possibilities. Developed from the perspective of qualitative and sustained on the research of Michelle Lessard-Herbert, Gabriel Goyette and Gerald Boutin, the objective is to understand and explain the reception process of television news that occurs in the classroom with students of 4th year of fundamentally education, mediated by institutional action of the school and the teacher's pedagogic action. The empirical work was carried out in the context of communication and education project called Televisando o Futuro, with the mediators of the teacher and the school. The main question guiding the research is: "how students receive television news reports when mediated by the school and the teacher? ". Thus, the interface between communication and education is characterized as an epistemological basis for knowing the context, the characteristics of audiences, the characteristics of the editor and the messages. The reception analysis that occurs in the classroom involves the understanding of the mediating process built by institutional action of the school and the teacher's pedagogic action. In this perspective, students are characterized as student-audience and are conditioned individually and collectively to the processes adopted by the school and by the teacher. Still, they are audiences of television news, but more passive than active since the scholar culture and the culture of the school is possible to see that students are given little choice possibilities and influence in the reception process. Keywords: reception studies, television news in the classroom, school, television and education.
